GPTZero is built around the classroom: it scans text from ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Llama, highlights sentences that look AI-written, and flags text that was paraphrased or run through a bypass tool. The free plan gives 10,000 words a month, which covers a handful of essays, and the Chrome extension adds AI highlights in Gmail, Google Docs and Google Classroom. Premium costs $12.99 a month on annual billing for 300,000 words, multilingual detection and downloadable reports. Professional at $24.99 adds batch uploads of 250 files, page by page scanning and LMS integration with Canvas and Google Classroom. Writing Replay is the feature teachers ask about most: it replays how a Google Doc was written, including pastes. The trade-offs are that LMS links require the higher plan and the 99.9 percent accuracy figure is a vendor claim. We compared documented features and published prices.
